A procedure for haze detection and removal from a single image using dark channel and fast bilateral filter has been developed. It involves the analysis of the statistics of the haze images. The dark channel prior with the haze imaging model is used to estimate the parameters of the haze and recover a high quality haze-free image. With the fast bilateral filter, we can acquire the fine transmission estimation and has low computation. Experimental results on variety of hazy images demonstrate the proposed method is simple and powerful.
